Empowered Learning Pitch Analysis

Based on the short pitch I would not invest in this venture. Here is a short summary of what I found in the pitch, broken down into categories discussed in this week’s course content and readings:

The pitch provides a pain point that does truly exist, providing students with adequate support, decreasing teacher workloads and improving parent communication but the solution is not unique enough. For example, I am currently using the LMS Desire2Learn and most of the issues he exposes in his pitch I can address very simply within the LMS. My math courses have built in self-assessments that are automatically marked and help fine tune students skills. The results of the assessments and progress in the course can easily be viewed by parents when they are set up with an auditor account.
